Contains:
– Hyssopus Officinalis Extract to provide moisturizing and refreshing cleansing that is effective to provide vitalizing and lively skin conditioning.
– Sea Water Extract to improve skin hydration to protect skin from moisture loss, inhibit skin dryness and maintains moisturizing skin.
– Inonotus Obliquus (Mushroom) Extract that has excellent moisturizing effect to provide deep hydration into skin and help maintain moisturizing skin.
– black barley extract to moisturize dry skin with hydrating feeling of use to help maintains smooth skin texture.
Texture:
– Taffy-like consistency that feels luxurious and enjoyable to use, resembles chewy rice cake
– Grains and ground almond shells for scrubbing and exfoliation, not for sensitive skin
Scent:
– Delightful floral and rice fragrance that enhances the cleansing experience
– Pleasant for daily use, but not recommended for fragrance-sensitive users
Usage:
– A small amount goes a long way, making the product economical
– Foams well, creating a rich lather
Performance:
– Reduced my sebaceous filaments noticeably. but not completely
– Deep cleansed without stripping the skin of natural moisture
– Controlled sebum and oil for the next hour
Packaging:
– The current plastic container feels cheap and less durable
– A tube packaging would be preferable for better hygiene and control over the amount dispensed.
Overall Experience:
– Enjoyable cleanser with a unique texture and pleasant scent
– Effective scrub and exfoliator, with noticeable improvements in skin texture and sebum control
– Packaging could be improved for a more premium feel and better usability
– Price could be lower, it’s not the most cost-effective but i still enjoy it enough WRP
